Vehicle Description
Bet you wish you'll be looking this good when you approach
90-years-old. This 1931 Pontiac sedan is a nicely coordinated
classic that loves to run and turn heads.
It's rare to find a piece of history that you can so readily take
for a Sunday drive. Pontiac lovers will know 1931 as the year
General Motors announced Oakland would stop making cars, leaving
its companion Pontiac to become the primary brand. And you get to
tell the story of this car's significance as others marvel at the
paint. The beige has the right period-correct look, but it also
gives off the shine of a quality respray much later in life. The
brown is expertly interwoven into this as it flows over the fenders
and onto the running boards. Plus, the brown returns on the roof
for a great two-tone effect. And the brown strip that hugs the
bodyline and surrounds the windshield is the same kind of styling
element that they would do in chrome a few decades later. So this
has a true subtle elegance. Plus, you'll love the details, like the
classic vinyl roof and Indian chief hood ornament above the twin
grille. And the wire wheels with iconic whitewalls are finished in
a bright yellow for added distinction.
Inside, the gray velour cloth on the two rows of plush seats
represents the era quite well. The tall greenhouse, roll-down
windows, and plenty of legroom makes this Pontiac a pleasant place
to be. Driving is easy-going with a conventional setup that
includes a floor-mounted three-speed. The gauge panel with readouts
for oil, fuel, power, and speed might not seem too special today,
but it was double what you got in a Ford Model A! And this one has
an authentic feeling, right down to the Pontiac emblem on the
dash.
Under the hood is a correct 200 cubic-inch straight-six. It runs
with the kind of readiness that tells you this classic has been
nicely maintained. And the condition of the correct and tidy engine
bay reinforces this feeling of a respected classic. Even the carb
was recently rebuilt. Getting this sedan on the road feels like an
industrial symphony of simplicity. The exhaust has a rhythmic chug
that is like being in charge of a mini locomotive as the tempo
increases with the acceleration. The three-speed manual
transmission has new synchros, so you can really take control of
this motor with confidence.
Complete with title documentation, this is a true piece of history
that makes you the most interesting person everywhere you go just
by arriving. Call today!!!
